On the night of June 18, 1955, the train from Hangzhou to Beijing was quiet, and only the sound of the train could be heard. Several armed guards were sitting in the aisle of the train. Chairman Mao and Soviet leader Ma Linkov is resting.

On the night of June 18, 1955, the train from Hangzhou to Beijing was quiet. Only the sound of the train could be heard. Several armed guards were sitting in the aisle of the train. Chairman Mao and the Soviet leaders Malenkov is resting.

Suddenly there was a "bang" sound, breaking the calmness of the train carriage . The guards immediately loaded the bullets and guarded Chairman Mao's side. Several other guards followed the sound to check the situation and found that the window of the next carriage was broken. There was a small hole that looked very much like a bullet.

Such a discovery shocked the security guards. Who was so bold as to shoot at the train Chairman Mao was riding?

However, after various investigations, discovered that the murderer turned out to be just a farmer. So, why did this farmer throw stones at Chairman Mao's special train? And what would Chairman Mao do with him?

After Khrushchev’s visit to China, the relationship between China and the Soviet Union became increasingly close. More and more Soviet representatives came to visit China, and the Soviet Minister of Electricity Malenkov came to visit China.

Malenkov was very interested in China and wanted to experience China's customs. Chairman Mao welcomed him very much and warmly invited him to inspect Hangzhou. The pleasant climate and beautiful scenery in Hangzhou opened Malenkov's eyes. I talked a lot with Chairman Mao about the construction of New China, and the meeting went very smoothly.

On June 18, 1955, Chairman Mao and Malenkov finished their trip to Hangzhou and returned to Beijing on a Dongfanghong train. This train was Chairman Mao's special train. The personnel on the car were well-trained and everyone They are all battle-hardened veterans.

After Chairman Mao and Malenkov got on the train, Wang Fang, deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Department , arranged dozens of guards to carry out security work in each carriage, with one sentry every three steps and one sentry every five steps, with guns and live ammunition under strict control. No disturbance can escape their inspection.

After the train started, it was already night. After Chairman Mao and Malenkov had a brief exchange, they returned to their respective carriages to rest. At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the train.

Wang Fang was shocked and hurriedly took the guards to check on Chairman Mao's condition. After running to Chairman Mao's carriage, he asked nervously: "Chairman, are you not injured?"

Chairman Mao was awakened by the strange movement just now. He said to Wang Fang: "I'm fine. Please send someone to see Malenkov quickly."

Wang Fang saw that Chairman Mao was safe and sound, and a big stone fell in his heart. He replied: "Chairman, someone has already been sent to see him." . "

Fortunately, Chairman Mao and Malenkov were not injured, and there were no other incidents on the train after that. However, this matter still cannot be ignored.

Wang Fang led the guards to investigate one carriage after another, not sparing any corner. Finally, they found a thumb-sized hole in the window next to Chairman Mao's carriage. The entire glass was shattered like a spider web, and it looked like Very much like a bullet.

Wang Fang became nervous again. In order to ensure Chairman Mao's safety, the Zhejiang police had sent a large number of personnel to conduct inspections at various stations passing from Hangzhou to Beijing to prevent accidents. Under such a strict investigation, Chairman Mao's special train was still attacked. This has to make people doubt that this was done by Chiang Kai-shek .

Since the meeting, the Kuomintang has never given up its plan to counterattack the mainland. However, due to its weakened strength and no longer able to compete with the Communist Party, , it used some very despicable methods to attack the mainland. One of the methods was assassination. Zhou Both the Prime Minister and Chairman Mao suffered assassinations from the Kuomintang.

Wang Fang did not dare to think about it any further. After the train arrived at the station, she immediately contacted the local public security department and asked to find the murderer within 24 hours.

The public security department immediately sent experienced police officers and formed an investigation team to conduct on-the-spot investigation on Chairman Mao's special train. After looking at the marks on the glass, the leader of the investigation team, Pan Zhenduo, initially concluded that it was caused by a bullet.

At this time, Wang Fang reminded him: "We also suspected that this was a shooting, but I have asked people to search for it on the train, and no bullet casings were found."

This made Pan Zhenduo very puzzled, and he thought After a while, he asked: "Have you ever looked outside the train?"

Wang Fang replied: "That's not true."

Pan Zhenduo turned around, looked at an open window opposite the broken glass and said, "That might be it. After the bullet passed through the glass, it hit the outside of the train. "

According to the information provided by the guard, the train was hit by the bullet when it passed through the Ximen crossing in Xiaoshan County. Pan Zhenduo took people to investigate near the Ximen crossing. Still found nothing. The investigation of the

case reached a deadlock. Pan Zhenduo and the investigation team were dejected and did not know how to proceed with the case. At this moment, Xu Jianguo, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, came to the investigation team.

Xu Jianguo is an old Red Army man who has been engaged in political security work and has rich experience. More importantly, he has solved many shooting cases and is very familiar with the traces left by bullets. This was at a time when investigation methods were lacking. The times are very difficult.

Right: Xu Jianguo

Pan Zhenduo welcomed this new member very much. He immediately took Xu Jianguo to the crime scene. After Xu Jianguo conducted a careful investigation, he came to a conclusion: "This was not shot through by a bullet." The members of the

investigation team couldn't believe it after hearing this. Could it be that all their hard work throughout the day was in vain? A police officer said unconvinced: "This is impossible."

Xu Jianguo pointed to the "bullet hole" in the glass and said: "Look, although this small hole looks like a bullet hole, but if you think about it carefully, If it was really a spy, it shouldn't be over with just one shot. And if the bullet entered the car and hit nothing, it should have been shot out of another window, but we have been searching at the scene for so long. No bullets were found, so, based on my experience, it should have been caused by a stone. The stone broke the glass, but did not enter the car. "

As soon as these words came out, the police officers present were silent. After a while, someone whispered: "Yes, we didn't find any bullets at the scene."

At this time, Pan Zhenduo, the leader of the investigation team, said: "Comrades, don't be discouraged, we should be happy, if not The broken glass caused by the bullets shows that it was not the work of spies.”

So who threw stones at Chairman Mao’s special train? In order to clarify this problem, Xu Jianguo asked the local police to send a large number of personnel to conduct investigations along the railway line. To prevent causing panic among the masses, Xu Jianguo reminded: "When arranging police to conduct investigations in various places, they must act cautiously and not alarm the people, let alone Tell the police handling the case that Chairman Mao's special train was under attack. "

In this way, a large number of police officers visited and investigated along the railway line and interviewed almost every resident in the villages along the line. With their unremitting efforts. , the case finally had a breakthrough.

When the police arrived at Cao Wensheng’s house in Caojiaqiao Village, Cao Wensheng’s wife looked very panicked. The police knocked on the door several times but received no response. Several police officers continued to knock on the door and said, “Sister, we are police, not bad people. , come to your house to understand some of the situation,”

Cao Wensheng’s wife was frightened out of her wits after hearing these words. In the past few days, there were rumors in the village that the police would shoot anyone who was not at home on June 18. She thought When my husband came home late that day, I couldn't help but shudder. If my husband was taken away, he would probably never come back.

At this time, Cao Wensheng came back from the fields with a hoe and happened to encounter the police blocking the door of his house.

The policeman looked Cao Wensheng up and down and saw that he was wearing a cloth shirt with several patches. His dark skin was covered with traces of years of labor. He looked like an ordinary farmer, but his wife Why are you so afraid of the police? There must be something fishy in this, so after several policemen discussed it, they said to him: "Hello, you are Comrade Cao Wensheng! We are here to investigate some situations, and we ask you to come back to the police station with us."

Cao When Vincent heard that he was going to the police station, his face instantly became nervous, and he said to the police tremblingly: "Okay... okay, I'll put the hoe at home first."

As soon as Cao Wensheng opened the door, his wife He rushed up to him, beat him with his hands, and cried: "You are a murderer, what did you do outside to make the police come to your door? How can I live as a woman in the future?"

Several A policeman quickly dissuaded him and said, "Sister, don't be nervous. We are just taking my eldest brother to the police station to inquire about the situation. We will be back soon."

Cao Wensheng's wife wiped away her tears and asked, "Is it true?" The policeman headed by

said: "Yes, if Comrade Cao Wensheng did not make any big mistakes, he will be sent back soon." After

Haosheng gave some advice, the police took Cao Wensheng to the police station. After arriving at the interrogation room of the police station, Cao Wensheng seemed even more nervous, with cold sweat constantly breaking out on his forehead.

Pan Zhenduo, who was in charge of the interrogation, took out a handkerchief and handed it to him and said: "Comrade Cao Wensheng, don't be afraid. Just tell me whatever I ask. Even if you have done something bad, it is not a serious crime and the government will not sentence you." "

Cao Wensheng took the handkerchief and wiped his sweat. He felt calmer and asked, "If you have any questions, please tell me!"

Another policeman immediately opened his notebook and started recording. Pan Zhenduo said: "Comrade Cao Wensheng, what did you do on the night of June 18?"

Cao Wensheng then told the police what happened that night.
